Posted February 11, 200817 yr Hi all in our local paper on the weekend there were budgies from $6.50 so i gave them a ring yesterday and went around to have a look WOW the colours of this ladys budgies were bright and mixed, I didnt know were to start plus she breeds cockatiels too and she had some of them for sale. So i went through and pick out a couple of budgies that really caught my eye so 7 budgies later and a baby cockatiel we came home. I will have to take some photos and put on here they a very different in colouring. With my cockatiel he has a brocken wing i got hi for free to a good home and hes very spoilt here will his wing ever heal and will he be able to fly again the lady clipped both wings so he cant fly at the moment im guessing till his wing heals if it will, sorry i know this question should be asked in here but i thought someone might know. thankyou pics soon...
February 11, 200817 yr look forward to the pictures of your new birds. they sound lovely :budgiedance: Your cockatiel with the broken wing however, he needs go to the vet ASAP, have x-rays taken and have the break set. If the break is left alone he will be in a lot of pain (even if he isn't showing it) Think of it as if you have a broken arm - it hurts like :bluebudgie: H**L until its set properly set by a doctor. Keep us posted
February 11, 200817 yr Exciting news about the newbies! Can't wait to see photos of them all . Best of luck with the broken winged one... I agree with Liv, get some vet attention and hopefully all will end up okay in the end!
February 11, 200817 yr What was the appearance of this place? It sounds like a bird mill. I am not trying to be nasty just asking. A tiel with a broken wing given away for free? That doesn't make any sense. I would take your birds to an avian vet especially the tiel to see if anything can be done for this bird. It may be too far gone but a expert opinion is what you need. Look forward to pictures.
February 11, 200817 yr In my experience it is the "dodgy" places that give away sick of injured birds also.... I've taken in a few before where their owners have treated them like vermin because they were not normal, i also didn't have to pay a price because they couldn't wait to palm them off... i say good on you for taking the baby even if it is sick... alot of "bird mill" owners would've eventually snapped it's neck to rid themselves of it, so see it as you saving it's life and doing the bird a favour
February 12, 200817 yr :ygbudgie: Oh dear, hope the broken winged one makes out okay as do the others? Maybe this outfit should be reported? Only you can be the judge of that, looking forward to the pictures.
February 12, 200817 yr Author :ygbudgie: Oh dear, hope the broken winged one makes out okay as do the others? Maybe this outfit should be reported? Only you can be the judge of that, looking forward to the pictures. :budgiedance: Firstly this lady was in not a mill. she breeds show birds and also the pet type budgies she has got a huge dome aviary which has all natural stuff in it for the birds like tree stumps and logs which the cockatiels nest in, and the floor had quail on the floor which looked like the bush floor.There was another big aviary with about 20 budgies in it so no i wouldnt call it a bird mill. As far as my cockatiel he is doing well now, we had a trip to the vets his wing was not broken just badly damaged. As far as being free I will take anything for free, I dont know about anybody else but if i get offered something for nothing i take it depends on what it is.. And im a sucker when it comes to giving sick animals a chance..
February 12, 200817 yr And im a sucker when it comes to giving sick animals a chance.. Oooh I second that .
February 12, 200817 yr Good to hear it just worries me when I hear those stories and in the end nothing is ever free even the pet because of the vet and follow-up care it needs that is not free but I know it will have a wonderful home now with you. That is all they really need is stability. Make sure you quarentine all your new birds and everything should work out well.
February 14, 200817 yr Author Will post some new photos soon as i can get this puter to do what i want it to do. having a few problems at the moment i put the photos on the puter and they wont show up. so stay tuned i will get some new photos on here soon as i can..
March 11, 200817 yr Author Hi all sorry its taken me so long to get some photos on here of our new budgies but i do have a couple at the moment and in the middle of fixing up some more to go on here so heres a couple of our newbies there not very good pics cos they didnt like me taking their photos... I was told this white looking one was a lilac would this be right?? I know its a bit hard to see her colouring, Will try and get more photos and hopefully closer ones so you can see their colouring better..
March 11, 200817 yr Your whitish looking one is a grey and seems to be a cinnamon gey......If I can see her back we would know if she is also spangle which is possible. The hen next to it is a YF sky violet opaline dom pied. The first photo is of a YF skyblue recessive pied most likely cinnamon also. Edited March 11, 200817 yr by KAZ

Hen from the first lot of pics you can see the front of her better in the picture Sorry if theres too many pics but i just had to show you all the different colours they are..

March 11, 200817 yr NEVER apoligise for the number of pics you post! We love them here!!! . You have some great coloured birds too... very sweet.
March 11, 200817 yr Author Thanks yeh i thought they were very pretty thats why i couldnt stop at just one or two when i seen them ... you know how it is... When I was looking at which one to buy i just couldnt make up my mine there was 2 small cages she had them in boys in one and the girls in the other. Which made it easy for her to catch other wise we could of been there all day trying to catch them in the the huge avairy she has for them.. they are very different...

March 11, 200817 yr Very gorgeous birds you have there!!! i Love your cobalt dom pied hen!!! Although, does she have scaley face? She also carries violet! very nice! Are any of them related? do you know?
